Like all other sports, you must have a certain level of practice and skill in order to master baseball. You must be prepared to spend considerable time practicing the sport as it can take you years. 

Luckily, there is a lot of equipment available in the market for you. You can practice solo with the gear too and they will help you increase your performance over time. Let’s take a look at what gear you should have to perfect your playing skills:

Fungo Bats

These are specialized baseball bats designed for batting practice. They are usually used by coaches to through a ball into the air. Fungo bats are usually longer and lighter than the usual baseball bat. 

Moreover, they might look like a cross between your usual bat and a stick. Fungo bats are about 35 to 37 inches long and also have a large drop weight. The drop weight is anywhere between -10 and -15. 

Another advantage of fungo bats is that you can use fungo bats without the help of a partner. This makes them a unique piece of gear. 

Baseball Nets 

You can use a practice net too if you want to improve your hitting and accuracy. Furthermore, they don’t allow any stray baseballs to be lost somewhere. Nets also provide additional security for your surroundings as the baseball won’t hit anything. 

What is the price range of baseball practice nets?

We found that practice nets are available in different price ranges based on their size and the material used. This price can range anywhere from $20 to upwards of $100. The best practice nets are dense and will hold against most fastballs. 

Training Bats

Baseball Training Equipment

Training bats are different from usual fungo bats. Fungo bats are considered to be training bats, but there are other kinds of training bats on the market too. These include: 

  • One-handed bats build up your eye coordination and also help enhance your muscle memory as well as arm strength. 
  • Weighted bats have increased weight attached to them at the end of the barrel. These are used to increase your swinging speed. However, they are used only for warm-ups. 
  • Lastly, there are flat bats. These are shaped like a regular baseball bat but have a flat surface. This flat surface will help you maintain a normal and level swing during play. 

Batting Swing Trainers And Hitting Aids

Swing trainers will help you practice your hitting. They have a variety of different advantages which include:

  • Improvement of muscle memory 
  • Ball contact and proper grip 
  • Handling of swing path, power, and speed 
  • Hand-eye coordination 

One thing to consider is that swing trainers may be a bit expensive. Alternatively, you can use a swinging stick. These, however, require another person to hold the stick. 

To practice your swinging, you can use a batting tee. To use them, you just have to adjust the height of the tee. Then, you can place the ball on the top of the tee. Lastly, you need to swing your bat in a way that the ball goes for a line drive.
